The cracking issue comes up "when exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit . . . or lower," see bottom two arrows that wesg79 drew.
Nowhere does it give any other rating like 40 degrees, much less "might actually be 50."
There is a statement of intention about snow, ice, and...
Read it and quoted the relevant parts, yes. I feel like at this point I am still repeating things from pages ago.
I did not recommend it as a snow tire, or for you to drive in Ontario in January.
I merely corrected your 7° Celsius claim with -7°, which you have now quoted, so I assume we are...
Correct.
Negative. As I said above, I posted the link. Try it out and stop just repeating this over and over without progressing in knowledge or letting the discussion go anywhere. The temperature warning is for -7° Celsius (19.4° or 20° Fahrenheit), as I stated, not 45° Fahrenheit (7°...
I'd call Whipple on Monday and ask them directly. For now, however, use google to search for the actual warranty available from Whipple and download it. Then read it. It looks to me like it plainly says it will not transfer to the new owner and applies only to the original owner.
Google...
Thank you for that review and response. :thumbsup:
I pushed the Trofeos on track until they squiggled around quite a lot, but no matter how hard I stood on the brakes coming down hill at 130+ mph to make the sharp 90 degree left turn on a significantly (suddenly) narrowed track, I could not...
And nowhere have I suggested that anybody in Ontario should run PS4S tires in Ontario in January. That would be retarded. Posting it in response to what I wrote is a straw man fallacy.
And here is what I posted to the original poster:
Relevant part bolded.
Just for the sake of a fuller provision of information, here is the link to the All Season 4

As you can see for yourself, there are no warnings whatsoever regarding temperature, and certainly not the warning I posted above for the...
(1) Google
(2) Chat GTP
(3) Forum discussion.
Not one of those is a reliable source, and they all feed off of each other.
Dig deeper. I often find the first returns from Google are wrong, as Google searches are now AI driven. AI literally scours the internet and "creates" returns based on...
I honestly have no clue why the two of you posted this, or why you think this confusion for all seasons is the case.
I posted the quote, in boldface type, but, more importantly, I provided a link in my post. Click it, and you will see that it is not an all season tire. wesg79 can even compare...
That's negative seven Celsius, -7°, not 7. Big difference.
Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such...
PS4S are great tires and grippy for a regular road type tire, and they will perform well in the winter if you do not live somewhere very cold (ugh, scratch that, I just saw you live in New York - you probably need a winter tire!)
If you really want best grip, though, Michelin Cup 2 are a...
Oh, so you went with the stock size handling package wheels (DHP 1?) and Michelin PS4s. By stock size, I assume you mean 305/315, which are actually larger than the Trofeo RS by quite a bit.
Would you please let me know all of your subjective/objective assessment of the new tires? I am about...
They have full on electronic ignitions now that use a distributor that communicates with a computer (ECU) where the camshaft and crankshaft are, but you control and program the advance curve on a computer screen, sort of like with modern cars. A fuel injection piece that looks like a carburetor...
Remember that the guys marketing tires and wheels here on the site are mainly in the market for looks. How does this look? Fill the wheel wells. Oh, that looks great.
They are not out there beating on their wheel and tire combos on the track and saying, here is what gives your Mustang more...
